Kiorafoto Soft Silicon Camera Viewfinder Eyecup Eyepiece Eyeshade for Sony A6000 A6100 A6300
Quick take
This soft silicone eyecup replacement is built for Sony A6000, A6100, and A6300 viewfinders (FDA-EP10 style fit). Buyers tend to like the added comfort at the eye and the way it helps block stray light for a cleaner view outdoors.
The main caveat is compatibility: it does not fit Sony A6400, A6500, or A6600, and a small number of users report the eyecup can be easy to dislodge if not seated securely.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Soft silicone design aims to feel more comfortable against bare eyes and glasses
- Helps block out ambient light so the viewfinder image is easier to see
- Designed as a replacement eyecup that matches FDA-EP10 style use
- Lightweight, compact accessory (about 7 g) for minimal bulk
Cons
- Not compatible with Sony A6400, A6500, or A6600 models
- Some buyers mention light can still sneak in at a corner and note it may not “click” into place like OEM-style parts
- If it does not sit firmly, it may slide off more easily than expected
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is generally positive for comfort and usability. Many users describe the silicone as softer against the eye than stock options and say it makes outdoor shooting easier by reducing stray light. Several reviews also call out that the eyecup feels like a straightforward replacement and is quick to install.
There is limited but notable feedback on fit behavior. Some buyers report small light leakage at the edges on certain setups, and a smaller set of reviews mention the eyecup can come off when the camera is carried or handled, especially if it is not seated tightly.
Overall, the recurring themes point to a comfortable, practical accessory for the right Sony models, with the biggest watch-outs being model compatibility and ensuring the eyecup sits securely.
Why you might want this eyecup
If you shoot with your Sony mirrorless camera and rely on the electronic viewfinder, small upgrades to the eyecup can make a surprising difference. The eyecup is designed to do two things on every session: keep stray light from entering around your eye, and provide a softer contact point so you can settle into the viewfinder without discomfort.
This Kiorafoto replacement focuses on comfort with soft silicone and on cleaner viewfinder visibility by reducing ambient light. That combination is especially relevant for bright outdoor conditions and for photographers who wear glasses and want a more forgiving surface against the eye area.
Compatibility and fit (who this is for)
This eyecup is intended for Sony Alpha A6000, A6100, and A6300 camera bodies, using the FDA-EP10 eyecup replacement style. It is explicitly not meant to fit Sony A6400, A6500, or A6600.
Before buying, double-check your camera model. If you are in the A6000/A6100/A6300 family, this is the kind of accessory upgrade that is meant to be “use it daily” practical rather than a specialized accessory.
Comfort and light blocking in real use
Reviews frequently mention the silicone feels comfortable for longer sessions and that it helps create a better seal against stray light. That translates to easier visibility when shooting outside where sunlight can wash out viewfinder contrast.
There is also some feedback about edge light leakage, and a few buyers describe the eyecup as having a corner where light can come through. That suggests the seal can be very good, but not always perfect depending on eye position and how the eyecup seats on the camera.
Installation and staying in place
Most users describe the installation as easy and the fit as secure. However, review evidence also includes reports that the eyecup can slide off if it is not fully seated or if it does not “lock” in a way some people expect.
If you plan to carry your camera frequently, use the eyecup actively (especially during hikes or travel), or switch accessories often, it is worth taking a moment after installation to confirm it sits snugly and does not wiggle.
Pros and cons recap
- Best for: Sony A6000, A6100, and A6300 owners who want a softer, more comfortable viewfinder eyecup and improved resistance to stray light.
- Not ideal for: Sony A6400/A6500/A6600 owners (compatibility mismatch).
- Watch-outs: possible minor light leakage at an edge for some setups, and the need to ensure the eyecup is seated firmly so it does not slide off during movement.
Price and availability
This is positioned as an affordable replacement part versus buying through more expensive channels. If your current eyecup is missing, worn, or uncomfortable, it can be a low-effort way to make the viewfinder feel more pleasant and functional.
Verdict
The Kiorafoto soft silicone viewfinder eyecup is a sensible upgrade for Sony A6000, A6100, and A6300 users who want more comfort at the eye and better help blocking stray light. The product’s biggest downsides are buyer-fit related, specifically the lack of compatibility with A6400/A6500/A6600 models, plus the possibility that some users may experience edge light leakage or a looser fit if it is not seated securely.
If your priority is a comfortable, daily eyecup replacement for the right Sony camera body, this is worth considering.

The A6700 Eyecup Eyepiece is a soft silicone, extended eyecup replacement for the Sony A6700 (intended to replace Sony FDA-EP20). It aims to improve comfort at the eye, reduce stray light and glare in bright conditions, and help limit accidental contact with the LCD screen.

The Extended Z9 Z8 Zf DK-33 eyecup is a soft silicone, deeper-style replacement for Nikon’s DK-33 rubber eyecup, aimed at blocking stray viewfinder light and improving comfort. It’s a strong fit for Nikon Z9 and Z8/Zf owners, with good feedback on comfort and a secure connection, but there are reports of minor interference with a swivel screen on certain models, so screen-style users should double-check fit.
Upgraded A7C II A7CR Eyecup Eye Cup with Hot Shoe review
The Upgraded A7C II A7CR Eyecup with a built-in cold shoe mount is a simple way to make your Sony Alpha 7C II or 7C R feel more comfortable at the viewfinder, while adding a place for small accessories like LED lights or mics. The biggest tradeoff is buyer fit, it is designed for A7C II and A7C R, not the original A7C.
EOS R5 Mark II Eyecup, Extended Soft Silicon R5II Eye review
The EOS R5 Mark II extended eyecup upgrade adds soft silicone comfort and extra viewfinder shading to reduce stray light, especially when shooting in bright conditions. It is designed specifically for the Canon EOS R5 Mark II, and installation involves very small screws, so plan for patience (and possibly a better screwdriver).
